Hi! We’re Nick and Sarah.

Welcome to our blog! We fixed up a single family home in Queens, all while growing our construction and design start-up, Nestrs. We also had a thriving Air BnB that taught us what real estate has to offer (when you can create property value and be a landlord). Our fixer-upper sold for a premium—enough profit to start our journey to real estate investment.

As we packed our twelve years in NYC, we dreamed about a garage, a driveway, enough grass to garden … but since we’re looking to invest in affordable markets, we’ve decided to travel (RV-style!) to the great deals. Follow along our journey as we explore different communities and restore properties across the country. (And maybe we’ll find home along the way, too.)
